<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There's still a lot of quality left on the board in the 2026 class. There's quality is at every position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The early signing period is coming up in November. By that time, solid players in the class could be off the board. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Before we get there, let's take a look at the latest with the 2026 class:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1560719' first='Trey' last='Pearson'], Pope John Paul II: The top-ranked point guard has taken official visits to High Point, Murray State, and Middle Tennessee State. He's also been to Arkansas State. I spoke to Pearson some days ago, and he mentioned that he's near the finish line of his recruitment. The No. 1 point guard in Tennessee announced his commitment to High Point (NC) late Wednesday morning. Pearson is now off the board.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2139567' first='Avery' last='Coles'], White House-Heritage: Coles, the 7-0 big man, is going to make one coaching staff happy once his commitment is announced. He's not to the finish line just yet. As of right now, Coles has spoken to Stetson, Iona, and The Citadel. He's a big man that's an underrated passer with an high IQ, really good footwork, and ability to provide spacing thanks to his shot making ability.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2364080' first='Will' last='McCrary'], Jackson County: McCrary went on an official visit to Bryan College last Monday. He just completed a visit to Milligan on Monday. McCrary has an official visit to Johnson University setup for Nov. 12. He plans on announcing his commitment in the early days of December.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1658056' first='Parker' last='Pounds'], Briarcrest: One of the best shooters in the class has an official visit to Air Force Academy setup for Oct. 8-9. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2439013' first='Cutter' last='Sisk'], Beech: Sisk is coming off an official visit at Kennesaw State. The 6-8 forward is a top 10 player in the class that's going to be an impactful player at the collegiate level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2869668' first='Cole' last='Winters'], Beech: In the month of September alone, the 6-3 wing has picked up offers from Olivet Nazarene University, Kansas Christian College, and the University of Health Science and Pharmacy. Winters is one of the best available wings in the class. I'm expecting Winters to have a productive 2025 season and be one of the most productive players in 4A.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
